take a section do a tnr see how long it takes it wont take long ..it takes a dfew min to get a base of knots started the 1st few tnr's will seem to do nothing at all but once u get some knots going it speeds up and wont take too long each dread but then u gotta take he time it takes to do 1 and multiply by 30-40 (average medium size dreads)
how thick do u want em cause they will seem way thinner at 1st and u shouldnt go by how thicjk they look but by the root sextion sizes

okay, i'll commit. this all sounds very good.
So here is my situation as it stands. I have a couple friends helping me get started, I'm going to section off my hair and make sure no roots are intertwined with others. Do the tnr method for [not sure how long i should start each one off so they don't untangle]. Once each dread has been started take out the rubber bands and in my free time over the next while sit in front of a mirror and finish each one individually.
Right?
it wont matter if u do or not they wont stay tnr'ed to the tip the tip will come loose and then dread up if u onky tnr 1 inch in three center it stuill will dread uop just the same
tnr isnt even neded its an extra step
if u just get 1 knot in it only and that knot stays more will fiollow
if the tips are loose,...leave em loose
theres nothing to fix that time wont take care of
she was doing that as a demo only her dreads were already dreads

But I watched on the video on this site for tnr (the non english speaking girl from youtube) and she tnr'd her dread right until the tip of it and palm rolled it to smooth it out. Should I tnr every dread to the end on the first day?
it shrinks uo to 1/2 ri=ight away thebn another 1/2 as it dreads the longer it is to start the more it shrinks it can shrink from ass to ear
but if its just to shoulders it will shrink to chin
if u want em the thickness in the pic the average is between pencil and sharpee size 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch sections
bout 65-75 dreads at a guess
depends i=on if more are on the thicker or thinner side
the size they are coming from the scalp will be the size they end up when mature about
they will tart off liooking way thinner though if u make a pensil thin dread to start it can thicken up to 3 times that size or more
